This European Prestandard specifies a spectrometric method for the determination of nitrate and nitrite content of meat products and has been validated for a total nitrite and nitrate content of 25 mg/kg as nitrite ion. Note: Experiences have shown that the methods is also applicable for total nitrite and nitrate content for 10 mg/kg up to 50 mg/kg as nitrite ion. For further information on applicability, see (1).
